EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving depicts the Banded Broadbill, Eurylaimus javanicus, also known as Horsfield's Gaper or Horsfield's Broadbill. The image is taken from Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library: Ornithology, specifically the volume dedicated to Flycatchers, published in Edinburgh by W.H. Lizars in 1836. The illustration was created by the renowned naturalist and illustrator, William Swainson. The Banded Broadbill is a striking bird native to the forests of Southeast Asia, with a distinctive black and white banded beak and bright red eyes. The male and female have similar plumage, with a mostly black body, white underparts, and a long, curved, decurved beak. They are known for their distinctive call, which sounds like a loud "gap" or "gawk." This engraving showcases the intricate details of the bird's feathers, beak, and eyes, highlighting the beauty and unique features of this fascinating species. The use of hand-coloring adds an additional layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a stunning addition to any natural history collection. The Banded Broadbill is a valuable addition to any ornithological study, and this engraving serves as an important historical record of the bird. It is a testament to the skill and dedication of the naturalists and illustrators of the time, who worked tirelessly to document the natural world around them.
